To redeem is to buy or win back - and redemption is at the heart of why Jesus Christ came to this earth. Christ redeems broken people from ungodliness, destructive desires, and living opposed to God. In this message, Pastor Tom talks about the darkness of a culture in desperate need of redemption. Portions of this message may not be appropriate for children age 12 and under.

"History in the making for the next great awakening"

The first followers responded to the crucifixion as if the end of Jesus’ life was the end of His work.  Without the resurrection, the death of Christ would be a long-forgotten end of a movement that stopped with the burial of its leader.  After the empty tomb, the disciples went from conceding death to an unstoppable force for advancing the message of life in Christ.

The crowds cheered Jesus on Palm Sunday.  Yet, just days later, the crowds cried for His crucifixion at the urging of that day’s influencers.  Build your faith on a commitment to follow Christ that will not collapse under the pressure of cultural convenience.

The homes in our neighborhoods and the people who live in them have a reputation.  There are good neighboring reputations like friendliness, helpfulness and hospitality.  Some can get a reputation for being difficult neighbors.  As followers of Christ, strive to be the home in your neighborhood that is known for loving your neighbor by the way you live out your faith.
